Depends on what madonna era they’re covering. If they’re covering up to the Blonde Ambition tour (based on the title). Madonna would’ve been in her early 30’s so maybe Evan Rachel Wood? Hopefully they get her blessing to use her music and not end up like the Britney and Aaliyah Razzie award worthy Biopics.

The script topped the Blacklist? :-O Wow. Casting will be intense for this role.

Agron and Arianda would be rather solid, but my first choice has to be Imogen Poots. With a fairly fresh filmography, she has already balanced lighthearted comedies and serious dramas, giving two of the best performances you didn’t see last year in Green Room and especially Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups.

And not only does she have the age for early ’80s Madge and singing capabilities (as well as the British accent to turn on and off), but there are some pictures of Imogen where she looks exactly like Madonna. She’d be perfect casting!

Ooh. Well that’s unfortunate Madonna doesn’t look like she’s going to give her blessings.

The script, at least the description on the Black List, is very early Madonna, before her first or second album. So no to Nina Arianda who is older than Madonna at that point. Diana Agron could work. But I did raise an eyebrow when I read Imogene Poots. That cold work better than Agron.

I suggested Evan Rachel Wood because she would be a similar age to Madonna at that point (as well as her performance in Thirteen being the rebel child) well Madonna would be around 24-26 but Madonna has an older face. If we were to cast someone similar age to that Madonna period, only person I can think of on top of my head is J-Law

Riley Keough

Imagine Elvis Presley’s granddaughter/Michael Jackson’s stepdaughter playing Madonna. Can’t get more legendary than that.

Regardless who plays Madonna imma be cackling if they get nominated for an Oscar since Madonna herself failed to get an Oscar nomination in song or acting for Evita.

Damn. If Madonna is this set against it and won’t allow for her music rights, then the project looks doomed from the start.
